So, how many times did either of these people decry the extreme right's actions as well as those who are acting like this in the rethug's name?

How many times did they try to stop what their own party was doing to their own constituents?

I don't recall seeing much, if any of that from these individuals, but as I said, I don't know for sure. He may have been the outsider in the party, but I don't recall hearing much about that either. When I read that 'every single rethug' voted for some of the evil things that this regime is doing, that kind of removes any sympathy or reason to 'engage' with what are being touted as 'moderates'.

I just don't recall any of them saying or doing things that would offset their involvement with their attempts at genocide. But, as I stated, I don't know this for sure.
